Carla Skellet There is no cure for birth or death sate to enjoy the interval Every morning from the mysterious depths of the Senior Room, resounds the familiar cry Listen ladies, the Chapel lines have left.” Could this be 'l iny” our so appropriately nicknamed class president as she endeavors to route her less ambitious friends from the comforts of their impenetrable lair? Ever since she joined us in eighth grade, fresh from Grovcland’s sheltering wing, we have been kept constantly amused by Tiny’s various attempts to reform us, for she is an ardent Churchgoer, at least on Thursday nights. Her hearty alto has long been an asset to the Glee Club to which she has always been faithful. Her artistic talents are further exhibited by her unceasing attempts to teach her fellow classmates how to acquire grace and poise through ballet. Carla’s powers in the field of athletics are not easily forgotten especially her successfully persuasive efforts as guard on the basketball team. Carla’s friendliness and her great interest in her friends truly insure her a successful future, for the class of ’49 will remember her as one of its best. ’46 Junior Dramatic Club ’46 Junior Glee Club ’46 Softball Varsity ’47. ’48, ’49 Varsity Hockey '48, ’49 Varsity Basketball ’47 Class Secretary-Treasurer ’49 Class President ’49 School Procedure Committee ’47, ’48, ’49 Senior Glee Club 47, '48, '49 World Affairs Club '48 Athletic Committee '49 Modern Dance Club 29

Elizabeth Schmitt She's small, hut so is a stick of dynamite. Betsy is one of our newer additions to Northrop, having arrived last year; too bad her entrance and exit had to be so hasty. Yet for the little time she has been here, Northrop will always remember her as one of its most co-operative members. Without Bets, the class of ’49 would find one thing missing: we would never find the spirit of fun and hilarity reaching such a height without Betsy to guide us. She is always able to arrive at school with a cheery good morning , after working late into the night on the Tatler. She has certainly proven herself to be an efficient and responsible vice-president of the Publications Committee. W'e are sure that her carefree independence as well as her charming personality will lx appreciated as much at college as they have been here at N.C.S. ’48, ’49 Glee Club ’49 Modern Club 49 World Affairs ’48 Public Relation ’49 Vice President of Publications 28

Diane Sparboe Laugh louder than the laughing giant. —Holmes The above quote is a very mild statement describing Di’s exceedingly good natured, cheerful, and exuberant laugh—it can never be mistaken. Diane will always be remembered as a meticulous person who stands in contrast to her careless classmates. After driving her Buick Convertible two or three blocks in the dust, Di can be seen with Spray Bright and chamois in hand wiping the dust particles from her famous car. White Varsity captain this year, Di has enthusiastically performed her job, and has made many athletic achievements. She has also enlivened her class by her humorous anecdotes and by modeling many articles of interest. We admire her for her unceasing vim, vigor, and vitality, which contributes so much to our Senior Room. Wc shall always remember Di for her three outstanding characteristics: her laugh, her long blond hair, and her overwhelming personality. ’48, 49 Glee Club ’48, ’49 Varsity Basketball ’49 All School White Captain ’49 Athletic Committee ’49 Varsity Hockey
